Cheap art will be just that. The true value lies in commitment and hard work. This is just a tool and without a creative mind operating it the results will hold no magic. Did photography kill painting? I think both are doing and developing rather well.

The greatest leap since the invention of the CUDA GPU in 2006, Turing features new RT Cores to accelerate ray tracing and new Tensor Cores for AI inferencing which, together for the first time, make real-time ray tracing possible. NVIDIA Turing GPU architecture brings together dedicated hardware and software acceleration of neural networks, ray tracing and advanced programmable shading in a scalable architecture.

NVIDIA announced its first Turing architecture-based GPUs, revolutionizing the work of 50 million designers and artists by enabling them to render photorealistic scenes in real time, add new AI-based capabilities to their workflows, and enjoy fluid interactivity with complex models and scenes. The NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000, Quadro RTX 6000 and Quadro RTX 5000 bring hardware-accelerated ray tracing, AI, advanced shading and simulation to creative professionals. We also announced the Quadro RTX Server, a reference architecture for on-demand rendering and virtual workstation solutions from the datacenter.

Our Material Definition Language SDK, now available as open source, gives developers the ability to apply realistic-looking materials like cloth or metal to their designs. They can add more functionality, work across more applications, exploit new platforms, import to iPad or Android, create new backends, and more.
